Judicial Review of Administrative Action Across the Common Law World: Origins and Adaptation is an important achievement in comparative administrative law. While comparative constitutional law enjoys significant attention and has developed a sizeable and sophisticated body of academic literature, the field of comparative administrative law is relatively much less well-traversed.
